As well as being our home, the treehouse is also where we make books together. I write the words and Terry draws the pictures.
~ Sure, Terry can be a bit annoying at times. . . but mostly we get on pretty well.
~ We have added… a boxing elephant called The Trunkinator
~ Life in the treehouse isn’t always easy, of course, but one thing is for sure … it’s never dull!
~ The rat chased the cat with the baseball bat. until... KERSPLAT!
~ It’s raining big fat cows today. How many cows? It’s hard to say.
~ Bad Jack Horner Sat in a corner Pulling the wings off a fly.
~ He swore at his mum, Kicked his dad in the bum And said, ‘Oh, what a bad boy am I!’
~ Bad diddle diddle The cat did a piddle The cow did a poo on the moon.

Frequently Asked Questions / School Projects

If you’re looking for the answers to questions like Where do you get your ideas from?, How many books have you written? and Are you and Terry friends in real life? and/or any of that crazy stuff you need for those pesky school projects (e.g. date I was born, date I died and the dates of everything in between) you will find it all here:

Writing Tips: Once Upon A Slime

If that’s all still not enough and/or you’re after more detailed practical writing tips, hints, exercises and even lesson plans for your next creative writing class I strongly suggest you get hold of a copy of Once Upon a Slime: 45 fun ways to get writing … fast! It contains examples of my writing from when I was very young, as well as hundreds of my favourite stories, cartoons and jokes from all my previous books along with 45 chapters that summarise pretty much EVERYTHING I know about writing and how to get better at it. You can find out more about the book here.

The ANDYPEDIA

If you would like a whole pile of even more detailed biographical information as well as a complete guide to every story, book and character I have ever written, why not download my bargain-priced e-book, Andypedia, here. It’s just like Wikipedia (with hyperlinked entries!) except it’s all about me. (Note: It’s not published as a paper book because you can’t hyperlink the entries in a paper book, duh!) If you don’t know what hyperlinks are, click on this hyperlink here.

Social Media and Events

You can keep in touch with everything that’s going on with me and my books on the web:

Talks and Events

Check my events page here to see if I’m talking at a festival, bookshop or public library near you any time soon. (Unfortunately, I’m unable to visit individual schools because the process of writing the books takes so much time.) You will also find details of CDP’s theatrical adaptations of both The 13-Storey Treehouse and The 26-Storey Treehouse which are touring Australia nationally throughout 2014 and 2015.

If You Can’t Make it to a Talk

Don’t despair! You can view video clips from my talks on my YouTube channel here.
Alternatively you can get a copy of my book, Once Upon A Slime, which is basically a written down version of everything I talk about in the talks, except that the book is much more detailed and comprehensive.
